PSEUDOPLASTIC WIRE ROPE LUBRICANT

Wire Rope Lubricant - MolySlip WRL S10 is a premium performance lubricant based on high quality oils combined with a pseudoplastic thickener system that solves the problem of balancing penetration and resistance properties better than other conventional greases.

Product Details

FEATURES & BENEFITS

High load carrying and wear reduction capability protects wires and strands from wear
Excellent corrosion resistance, protects ropes operating in wet and humid environments
Highly adhesive, tenacious film extends re-lubrication intervals
Excellent low temperature flexibility prevents flaking and cracking
Pseudoplastic rheology optimises penetration and rentention within the rope
Resistant to water wash-off
WRL-S10 is a translucent grease designed to allow easy inspection of the rope

WHAT IS A PSEUDOPLASTIC GREASE?

One of the problems with wire ropes is wear and corrosion at the core. The solution to this problem is to use a rope lubricant that has a high and strong viscosity to protect the wire rope core and is also not easily lost due to rain or water immersion.

Wire Rope Lubricant - MolySlip WRL S10 is suitable for use in most types and constructions of wire rope operating in various conditions and equipment such as crane, harbor, oil field, construction and mining. They can also be used in applications such as ROV umbilical cords to protect against corrosion.

Typical “Newtonian” rheology:
Viscosity remains constant regardless of shear rate. Compromise must be made when selecting balance of penetration and wash-off protection properties

Pseudoplastic rheology:
Viscosity dramatically reduces when shear is applied allowing maximum penetration during application. Structure re-forms instantly after application giving maximum wash-off resistance
